Oatmeal Pancake Recipe

When Eric and I first started dating his mom would make oatmeal pancakes on occasion. I was convinced I would hate them. I like pancakes and I like oatmeal, but I am not a big one on mixing stuff together. So I would always regretfully decline eating them. Then one day they got smart and tricked me! They told me they were regular pancakes, so of course I agreed to eat them, and loved them! After I was finished they let me in on the secret, I really just ate oatmeal pancakes. Ever since I have loved them, and honestly could not tell you the last time we ate normal pancakes. Our poor kids probably know no other pancake other then oatmeal ones! So I thought I would share this quick and easy recipe that you could make for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. More then likely you have all the ingredients on hand, too!

I normally use Skim Milk, but today we were out, so we had to use Lucy's milk,

but any old (well not expired) milk will do!

Let sit about 5 minutes

Step 2:
In the larger bowl add 1/4 Cup melted butter, mix in with 2 eggs and 1/4 Cup brown sugar...I usually mix the eggs, add the butter, then stir in the brown sugar

Step 3:
Mix the ingredients from Step 1 into into the larger bowl, then add 1 Cup flour (I use whole wheat flour and honestly you can not taste a difference, and I have used white flour, both are fine), 1 Tsp baking soda, 1/2 Tsp salt...mix all together

Before flour, baking soda, and salt...

And after...

Then scoop out and cook on the griddle or in a pan! We usually add some chocolate chips in ours. I would love to tell you how much this recipe makes but we usually get a different amount each time, our pancake sizes vary! You can probably bet on 10, but I usually double the recipe since it's so easy and freeze all our left overs.

For the ladies...

For the mommy :)

My little helper!

My girls are spoiled and they only eat a hot breakfast, so we devour the leftovers in no time! Enjoy!

**Disclaimer...I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, and I don't know where she got it from, so if your great grandma made it up, kudos to her! And still enjoy the pancakes!**
